Grandchildren
Are
The
Crowning
Glory Of The Aged.

Observation
Getting
old is not for wimps!
Every
day I wake up I am greeted with something new. This morning it was a
new cough. Tomorrow it will probably be an aching back, a pain in my
chest, or who knows what; but for sure it will be something that is
nagging and aggravating.
But
there is one thing for sure that I enjoy and it comes with old age; I
love being a Grandpa!
Kathy
and I have 11 grandchildren with 2 more on the way!
There
is something magical about being grandparents. We get to love on our
grandchildren and then return them back to their Mom and Dad.
And
discipline has never been so easy. It is amazing how easy it is to
overlook a grandchild's bad behavior compared to your own children's
when you were raising them! We seem to be a lot wiser at child
raising now that we are grandparents.
Having
grandchildren is one of the benefits of growing older that I wouldn't
change for anything.
Hopefully
they will all be over this week for Thanksgiving! We are counting on
it!
Application
I
am looking forward to seeing our grandchildren and their parents on
Thanksgiving.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for allowing me to live to see my grandchildren
grow up to where they are now. Help them to make good choices and
decisions about life. Draw them to a close relationship with You.
Bring godly people into their lives so they have the opportunity to
live for You. I pray for their parents who are trying to raise them.
Give them wisdom and strength. Show them that they can depend on You
for help.
